EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported back in time to a lively and extravagant scene. The Casino's playing bench interior is beautifully illuminated by flickering candlelight, creating an enchanting ambiance for the masked and elegantly dressed men and women who have gathered here. As we peer into the image, we witness groups of individuals engrossed in various gambling games, their faces concealed behind intricately designed masks. It is a masquerade like no other, where every participant revels in the thrill of chance and mystery. The atmosphere exudes a sense of opulence and decadence as these high society figures indulge themselves in this Carnival celebration. This non-liturgical festivity known as Shrovetide provides them with an opportunity to escape societal constraints and embrace their hidden desires. The artist, Pietro Longhi or one of his followers, has masterfully captured this moment on canvas using oil paint. Every brushstroke brings life to each character's elaborate attire and intricate mask designs. This print serves as a window into another era - one filled with intrigue, glamour, and indulgence. It invites us to imagine ourselves among these masked revelers; perhaps even partaking in the excitement of the casino games or dancing at a masked ball until dawn breaks
